Aim To explore the effects and mechanism of ginsenoside-Rg1 on SK-N-SH cells treated with chronic morphine and naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. Methods Cells were pretreated with ginsenoside-Rg1 1,2,4,8,16,32 ?mol?L-1 for 24 h,then incubated for 24 h with morphine ( 100 ?mol?L-1 ) . MTT colorimetr was used to study the effects of ginsenoside-Rg1 on the multiplication of the cells treated with chro-nic morphine. After stimulated by the same concentra-tion of morphine,cells were added with different concentrations of Rg1 1,2,4 ?mol?L -1 for 24 h before stimulated with 10 ?mol?L -1 NAL. Fuorospectrophotometry RT-PCR and Western blot techniques were used to detect the effects of ginsenoside-Rg1 on the [Ca2+ ]i,CaMKⅡ ? mRNA and protein expression of the SK-N-SH cells treated with chronic morphine and naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. Results ① Compared with control group,morphine significantly inhibited cell multiplication and resulted in calcium overload,and the expression of CaMKⅡ-? mRNA and protein noticeably increased ( P

Objective To investigate the expressions of ezrin,E-cadherin,paxillin and integrin β1 in skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and their significance.Methods The expressions of ezrin,E-cadherin,paxillin and.integrin β1 were immunohistochemically detected in tissue specimens from 30 patients with SCC and 10 normal human controls.Results The expression rates of ezrin and E-cadherin in normal human keratinocytes were significantly higher than those in SCC cells [ 100.00% (10/10)vs.56.67%(17/30),x2 =6.42,P < 0.05; 100.00% (10/10) vs 13.33% (4/30),x2=24.76,P < 0.05],while the expression rates of paxillin and integrin β1 in normal human keratinocytes were significantly lower than those in SCC cells [0.00vs.70.00% (21/30),x2 =14.74,P < 0.01; 10.00% (1/10) vs.66.67% (20/30),x2 =9.66,P < 0.05].In SCC cells,there was a significant positive correlation between the expression of ezrin and E-cadherin (r =0.52,P <0.01 ),but a negative correlation between the expression of paxillin and E-cadherin and between that of integrin β1 and E-cadherin (r =- 0.56,- 0.52 respectively,both P < 0.01); no significant correlation was observed between the expression of ezrin and paxillin or integrin β1,or between the that of paxillin and integrin β1 (r =0.5,0.24 and 0 respectively,all P > 0.05).Conclusions The low expression of E-cadherin and high expression of paxillin and integrin β1 may synergistically promote the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells,while integrin β1 and E-cadherin may play an antagonistic role in the metastasis of SCC.

A capillary electrophoretic method was developed for the separation of enantiomers of naphthylgly-cidic ether(NGE). Several cyclodextrins(CDs) were applied as the chiral selectors and it was found that the ionic modified highly sulfated cyclodextrin(HS-β-CD) could give satisfactory enantioselectivity. In addition,the effects of the pH value of the buffer system,the concentration of the HS-β-CD,capillary temperature and the running voltage on the chiral separation were investigated systematically. The result showed that under the optimized conditions of pH 2. 5,20 mmol/L H_3PO_4-triethanolamine buffer containing 2% highly sulfated cyclodextrin ( HS-β-CD) at capillary temperature 20℃ in the reversed polarity voltage of - 18 kV,the enantiomers of naphthylglycidic ether were baseline separated. This method is simple,precise and can be applied to the chiral separation of naphthylglycidic ether enantiomers and determination of enantiomers excess(ee,% ).

Aim To investigate the proliferative effect and the apoptosis of rat epididymal epithelial cells induced by podophyllotoxin and its underlying mechanisms.Methods Primary epididymal epithelial cells were cultured in vitro.CCK-8 assay was used to analyze proliferation of epididymal epithelial cells induced by podophyllotoxin on 24, 48 and 72 h.The ultra structural changes of the epididymal epithelial cells were observed by transmission electron microscope.AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining was used to quantify the percentages of apoptosis in the total cell population.The TdTmediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) technique was applied to observe the morphological changes of apoptotic cells.The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α) mRNA was investigated by real-time RT-PCR.The level of TNF-α in cell culture supernatant was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) technology.Western blot was per-formed to determine the protein expression of cytochrome C, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9.Results Podophyllotoxin significantly inhibited the activity of proliferation and induced apoptosis of epididymal epithelial cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner(P<0.05), with a 50% inhibitory concentration(IC50) value and corresponding 95% confidence intervals(CI) of 59.36(15.50~227.41), 0.37(0.080~1.70), 0.077(0.017~0.35) μmol·L-1 at 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively.Podophyllotoxin induced cell volume turned round and cell nuclear fragmentation and mitochondrial vacuolation.RT-PCR and ELISA results showed that podophyllotoxin improved the expression of TNF-α mRNA and protein.Western blot results demonstrated that podophyllotoxin activated the protein expression of cytochrome C, caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9.Conclusion Podophyllotoxin can induce rat epididymal epithelial cell apoptosis through both the mitochondria-regulated intrinsic pathway and the TNF receptor-mediated extrinsic pathway.

OBJECTIVETo observe the inhabitive effect and mechanism of polypeptide extract from scorpion venom (PESV) on repopulation in H22 tumor cell during chemotherapy.
METHODH22 tumor cells were injected into 96 mice subcutaneously, then mice were divided into 4 groups radomly: Model, low-dose-PESV, high-dose-PESV, and control. Reppulation model was established by 5-Fu treating mice with H22. Four groups was treated differently, 6 mice of each group was sacrificed every 7 days, measured tumor volume twice one week. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), CD105 microvessel density (CD105-MVD) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) in H22 tumor issue was observed by using immunohistochemistry and grey analysis, the relation of VEGF and MVD was affirmed by correlation analysis.
RESULTIn control group tumor volume of H22 increased quickly in 13-24 day, and all mice died before 27 day. In model tumor volume increased quickly before 17, in 17-22 day slowly, after 22 day quickly again, and all the mice died before 31 day. In low and high dose PESV, tumor volume added slowly, and only in 17 day there was significant difference between these two groups. Immunohistochemistry showed, PCNA expression of model group in 31 day was higher than in 21, 28 day, the expression level of high and low PESV group was lower than model group all the time, only in 17 day there was significant difference between high and low PESV group. Immunohistochemitry showed, compared with high and low dose PESV group, CD105-MVD of model group was higher in 21, 28 day (P < 0.05) and in 35 day (P < 0.01), and no difference was found between high and low dose PESV. VEGF expression of model group in 35 day was higher than in 21, 28 day (P < 0.01), and model group higher than high and low dose PESV in 21, 28, 35 day. The expression of PDGF in model decreased gradually, in high and low dose PESV, the expression was lowest in 21 day. In day 35 high dose PESV higher than low dose PESV. There was positive correlation (r = 0.669) between VEGF expression and CD105-MVD.
CONCLUSIONPESV can inhabit repopulation of H22 tumor cell during chemotherapy, and the mechanism maybe is through anti-angiogenesis and nomalizing tumor vessels.
